Echoes of the Playground
soft folk wistfulLyrics
[Verse]
Wooden swings creaked in the amber dusk
Shoes kicked off
Barefoot in the dust
Laughter sailed on the whispering breeze
Lost in the orchard of apple trees
[Verse 2]
Scraped knees and stories in the twilight
Fireflies danced with the coming night
Pockets filled with marbles and dreams
Skipping stones on timeless streams
[Chorus]
Oh
Those days
They drift away
In the amber glow of yesterday
Innocence
Like a fleeting song
Echoes of the playground
Where we belonged
[Verse 3]
Old friends are scattered by the hands of time
But in my mind
They're forever mine
Secret clubs and paper boats
Echoes of the words we never wrote
[Bridge]
Faded photographs
Dusty and torn
Memories in the heart are never worn
Time may steal the days
But never the feel
Of childhood’s simple
Spinning wheel
[Verse 4]
Climbed that hill where we made our stand
Sword fights with sticks
Castles in the sand
Every scar a badge to proudly show
In the fields where the wildflowers grow
